EARLY VARIETIES. 
“EARLY NORTHER.” Several days earlier than the Early- 
Rose, and equally prolific ; a most desirable sort. It is a strong, 
vigorous grower, and the potatoes are bunched well together in 
the hills. In shape it resombles the Early Hose; the eyes are 
fow and shallow. Its table qualities cannot be excelled, cooking 
dry and floury, whether baked or boiled. Seems to do well 
everywhere. (See cut.) GOc. peck, .$1.75 bush., S3.50 bbl. 
“ The Early Norther Potatoes 1 planted lastspring have proved to be the 
best 1 ha ve ever had, both in quantity and quality.” •

forme. 1 think them just perfect 
QUEEN. A grand potato of recent introduction, closely resembling 
Beauty of Hebron in appearance, color, size and shape, but is 
much earlier and a heavier yielder. 60c. peck, SI.75 bush., S3.50

ROCHESTER ROSE. Of rocent years the Early Rose has not 
done well in some sections. The Rochester Rose, which we now

early varieties, entirely distinct from all other early sorts, the 
skin being nearly pure white. It cooks dry and floury, and is 
unequaled in quality. Awarded the medal of excellence at the 
American Institute Fair. (See cut.) GOc. peck, $2.00 bush., S4.00 
bbl.

from you. They were planted on my Island Farm on April 1st and dug July 
16th. The yield was S3 pecks. They are large , smooth, and could easily have 
been dug a month ago.”

■/ want to say before I stop, that 1 hr llovee and Sir Walter Raleigh Potatoes I purchased from yon ha re distanced everything in the potato line in this vicinity I 
have some Early Rose planted alongside the llovee under exactly the.‘same conditions, but the llovee will heat them three to one in yield. I planted on Feb 1st, 
and have had edible potatoes for three weeks. Please pardon the length of this letter, but I can't withhold my testimony to the value oft hose two varieties ofpotntoes.
